[QUOTE="ajaf1656, post: 16433777, member: 196707"] Unfortunately, when the cops decided to lie about me to the district attorney and have me arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on a person I had never even seen before, I was a young man and had no idea how evil law enforcement could be. I thought they were all good guys who were devoted to protecting and serving the community. I thought they were heroes. The respect I had for police ended when they lied under oath to cover their own asses after realizing they had arrested the wrong person. They created an entirely fictional story that directly contradicted every bit of evidence in the case, put their hand on the Bible and lied about me in the courtroom. I was told I didn't qualify for a public defender. My bail was set at $80,000. I got locked up in Santa Rita jail (one of the most dangerous jails in the country). I had my top-secret security clearance and my USAF restricted area badge suspended, so I couldn't even do my job. The lead detective directly told me he knew I was a good guy and that he knew I didn't do it while simultaneously taking the stand and saying the exact opposite. I cooperated and offered everything I could to help them with their case against the actual perpetrators of the assault. Their response was to offer me a 5 year prison sentence if I plead guilty to a crime I didn't commit. It took me a year and a half and nearly $30,000 to clear my name. This is what "innocent until proven guilty" looks like with bad cops. That's what I got for being cooperative and respectful. Since then, I've had run-ins with other bad cops. I've had a gun pulled on me for speeding. I've had a cop threaten to run me over with his car and put a ticket on my dead body. I've been beaten and had bones broken for walking away from cops harassing me. It's not about where I am either, bad cops are everywhere. Most police, I've had the pleasure to encounter are good people, unfortunately the bad ones ruin the relationship they have with the community.
